Since its inaugural post on September 22, 2002, the Milkcrate has undergone numerous facelifts, several incarnations, and various posting frequencies, but it has never been completely abandoned. This is, in fact, the Milkcrate’s third home. It is a blog, my friends. It is prone to opinions (both researched and unresearched), flights of fiction, poetic outbursts, mundanity, brilliantly and poorly executed concepts, and it is the work of one woman, who often slouches on her couch as she writes. Self-satisfied, self-assured, slightly vain, and given to moments of insecurity and the conviction that I am often less interesting outside my head. I don’t know what kind of portrait my writing paints, and I’m not incredibly concerned about it. I just hope you enjoy it.
